Features and functionality

  • The ESP Flicker-III bridge holds tuning well despite the absence of locking tuners, which is notable for a non-locking system.

    Source
  • The guitar features the Sentient/Nazgul 7-string pickup set, offering a robust tonal option for those preferring passive pickups.

    Source
  • Luminlay inlays are reported to stay bright for up to 2 hours in dark settings, enhancing visibility during performances.

Setup and maintenance

  • Some players find the 9-gauge set too loose in drop A tuning and suggest using a thicker string for the 7th, like the 8th string from an 8-string set.

    Source

Use cases and applications

  • The guitar's weight is significant even when seated, which some users find noticeable, particularly when standing.

    Source
  • Owners transitioning from 6 to 7 strings note little difference in playability, likely due to similar neck profiles in other ESP models.

This video was taken in September 16th of 2017, at a BIGBOSS clinic in Ochanomizu, Japan. Here, Syu uses a custom model of ESP Snapper, with 3 Seymour Duncan single-coil pickups. The pickguard is transparent such that you can actually see the inner wirings of the volume and tone pots, pickups, etc.

This guitar was debuted in Galneryus' recent music video, "Ultimate Sacrifice," which can also be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mthXqnd-lg
